Thank you Rob. You post is dead on for me. I had huge issues with the word God. It conjured up so much baggage from my past that it felt like the word was the roof crashing down on me. Made me want to run away as fast as my legs could carry me. Fortunately, I listened to others, read "We Agnostics", and was desperate enough to set aside my preconceptions long enough to realize that in AA the term God is just that a term used to reference a Power Greater than myself.
